The Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) is a cryogenically cooled, space based, one meter class telescope for infrared astronomy. A recent mission option study has moved SIRTF from a previous low earth orbit (900 km) shuttle launched design to a high earth orbit (100,000 km) Titan IV/Centaur launched design. The mission option study requirements and trades relating to the structural configuration and the chosen SIRTF design are described. Also discussed is a dynamic stress analysis of the new SIRTF baseline structural design which has been performed using finite element modeling and simulated launch interface loads.
